Nicholson promoted to Dakota Wesleyan head coach
MITCHELL, S.D. (DWU) — Dakota Wesleyan University promotes Sam Nicholson to head men's basketball coach. Dakota Wesleyan University is proud to announce the promotion of Sam Nicholson as the next Head Coach of the DWU Men's Basketball program. Nicholson becomes the 22nd head coach in program history, following two impactful seasons as the team's Assistant Coach. Dakota Wesleyan Athletics will host a press conference on Wednesday, April 30, at 4:00 p.m. in the Sherman Center. The event is open to the public and all media members and will also be streamed, with details to come. Nicholson's elevation to head coach comes after a successful tenure as an assistant, where he played a pivotal role in developing talent and advancing the program. During his two seasons on staff, the Tigers made a National Tournament appearance and produced seven All-Conference selections, as well as one Freshman of the Year. A Look at Coach Nicholson's Journey: A native of Blair, Neb., Nicholson joined the DWU staff in the summer of 2023 after gaining coaching experience throughout the region. Before DWU, he served as an assistant coach at non-conference rival Dakota State under veteran coach Gary Garner, contributing to recruiting, scouting, and player development. He also spent time at NCAA Division II Concordia University, St. Paul as a graduate assistant, and began his coaching journey as a student assistant at the University of South Dakota. During his four-year stint at USD, he was part of the staff during the Coyotes' 2017 Summit League Championship run. Nicholson earned his bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education from the University of South Dakota in 2020, and later completed his Master's degree in Coaching and Athletic Administration from Concordia-St. Paul in 2022. DWU Director of Athletics Ross Cimpl shared his excitement about Nicholson's promotion: 'I am so grateful to be able to fill this position with Coach Sam Nicholson. I am so excited for Sam and the DWU Men's Basketball program. Sam has earned this opportunity with his work ethic and his ability to build meaningful relationships with players and recruits. The future of DWU Men's Basketball is very bright. I look forward to watching Coach Nicholson and our program grow. We have very high expectations and goals, and I'm confident we have the right leader in place to achieve them.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Sioux City Metros look for back-to-back titles as they prepare for USA Hockey National Tournament
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) – After a long and successful season, the Sioux City Metros are packing their bags to head out to sunny Irvine, California to compete at the USA Hockey High School National Championships. This is the second consecutive year the Metros have qualified for the National Tournament. The high school hockey team has made its mark in the Midwest High School Hockey League taking back to back league titles; collecting five overall. After winning the 2025 Iowa tate tournament title, the Metros hold the most state tournament titles in Midwest High School Hockey League history with nine. After closing the last season with a National Championship Title, the Metros have been looking forward to getting back to the national stage. 'Our goal from day one was to make it to Nationals, State also, just knowing that we had a large group of guys last year that were playing this year as well and we all have good teamwork and good connections with each other, I knew that it was accomplishable,' Metros junior forward Noah Graham said. 'I feel like it was an advantage going into the State Championship, we've all played in the Finals, so you know you can have those nerves and kind of cool off and know what you're doing, so I think that will be an advantage for us,' Metros senior forward Tegan Doelman said. 'We have the skillset. You have to grind it out and you have to bring it every day, and if you don't, if you let one game slip up you lose that opportunity,' Metros head coach Jesse Monell said. 'That's a testament to what these kids have done. They grind it out for five months and at the end of the day they get rewarded with that National title bid, so it's fun to see them accomplish that.' The Metros's first game will be March 26th against St. Joseph (IN). Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
